 Feb 2010: I am this week concluding a one month's visit to Jan Swasthya
Sahyog / JSS (The People's Health Support Group) in Chhattisgarh, a
state in Central India.
I write to you now because JSS, which serves the most
destitute of India, is critically short-staffed and volunteer
opportunities abound. (I personally will return in July 2010 to assist
with a documentation project, based on personal histories, on how
poverty and ill-health interact, each re-enforcing the other.) -- Dr Jonathan E. Fine, M.D., M.P.H., Boston. Read Dr Fine's full note and interview of JSS's Dr Yogesh |

Since 2005, more than 3 lakh tribals have been displaced from Bijapur and Dantewada districts of Chhattisgarh. Facing starvation, harassment and brutality in Salwa Judum camps, many thousands have fled the state. In 2008, the Supreme Court ordered the state to implement the National Human Rights Commission's recommendation to facilitate safe return and rehabilitation, compensate for damages and restore democratic rights. Some families returned to Nendra in 2008 and several hundred more followed in 2009. AID supported ASDS to provide relief as well as efforts to rehabilitate displaced tribal families of Chhattisgarh by providing safe transport and support for returning to their homes, resuming their livelihoods and demanding government services. In the first six months 400 families have returned. Read brief report. How they returned: See interview with Himanshu Kumar, Vanvasi Chetana Ashram
